The national parade of this year’s May Day celebration at the
Independence Square in Accra was nearly disrupted by rains.
Some of the workers,
however, defied the rains as they sang and danced while waiting for the
day’s addresses.
This year’s celebration
started with a march from the Kwame Nkrumah Circle through Adabraka, Farisco
traffic light, Old Polo grounds and to the Black Star Square [Independence
Square] for the day’s addresses by the leadership of labour and President Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The about 20-minutes
rain accompanied by strong winds, carried some of the canopies
mounted at the parade grounds away.
Some workers took to
their heels to seek shelter under the main concrete canopy at the square.
But they regrouped after
the rains stopped for the celebration to continue.
This year’s celebration was under the theme ‘Sustainable pension for all.’
The Secretary-General of
the Trades Union Congress in Ghana, Dr Anthony Yaw Baah, the Minister of Labour
and President Akufo-Addo took turns later to address the anniversary
parade.
